      Pros

      -The strongest sense of team and collaboration I've experienced anywhere I've worked. Slack culture is built on helping others and it makes the work easier and more enjoyable. -The company is growing so quickly there are always new problems to solve, new opportunities to take, new ways to stretch yourself and learn new things. -Slack has a customer-centric culture and that is a wonderful thing, especially for those of us on the Customer Experience team. We are seen as a value-add, not a cost center.

      Cons

      -The strong culture of collaboration can make it hard to unplug. There is always more to do and more colleagues you could help. -The product and company are changing constantly and quickly. If you don't love a new challenge literally every day, and having to learn/re-learn how things work this might not be a good fit. .

      Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! It is so wonderful to hear that you see strong team collaboration and feel surrounded by continuous opportunity to learn and grow. We hear you, sometimes it can be difficult to unplug--we encourage you to take advantage of PTO and our monthly company Fri-yays to really relax and recharge! -Slack

      Pros

      - The culture at Slack is very inclusive. I've had imposter syndrome everywhere else I've worked. This is the first place that gives me a sense of belonging - Leadership trusts you with important work, and lets you drive it to completion. I've been doing the best work of my career here so far

      Cons

      - Since its a growing company, there is a lot of work to be done. This gets overwhelming at times, but is completely rewarding.

      Best Company I've Ever Worked For

      Pros

      Overall, Slack is a wonderful place to work, to be an engineer, or to be an engineering manager. I've been lucky enough to be both an IC and an EM at Slack, and over the past two years I've worked with incredible colleagues. We're shipping a well loved product that's fun to use, and we're able to ship it without working crazy hours. Work life balance is great, and so are benefits. During the pandemic they've been giving everyone in the company 1 extra day off a month and it's just been wonderful.

      Cons

      If you don't have a manager invested in helping you grow your career, it's going to be a challenge to do it. The engineering promotion process is very manager driven, including packets written by the manager. If you don't have the proper support, it's tough to get promotions or switch from IC to EM. If you do, it's a great place to grow your career. On a day to day basis, there are still a number of things that cause engineers on my team pain in the codebase. Flaky tests are probably culprit number one. Code health has improved a lot in the past year, but there's still a ways to go.
